ragging at MANIT Bhopal: all NITs have strong anti-ragging measures mandated by UGC. dedicated committees, hostel wardens, CCTV. serious ragging is rare and dealt with strictly (expulsion + FIR).
mild interaction culture (seniors calling freshers for intros) does exist in the first weeks but serious harassment is not the norm.
if you face ragging:
don't stay silent. reports at NITs are taken seriously and action is fast. speaking up protects you and your entire batch.
Choosing between colleges requires evaluating multiple factors aligned with your career goals and personal preferences.
Key comparison points:
Visit campuses, talk to current students, and review official placement reports. Your decision should balance academic quality, career prospects, and personal comfort.
I don't think there is a single useless branch at NIT Rourkela or at any institute. The diverse branches aim at catering to the needs of all kinds of students. So a branch that is useless for you might be useful for someone else and vice versa. Moreover, if a branch seems to be useless then it's because its students are not passionate enough to make the most out of it. Comparing branches can also result in this preconceived notion of a rank being inferior to the other.
It's always better to find solutions than to complain. Rather than declaring a specific branch to be useless, we should identify its weaknesses and work on them for instance, one of my friends found his branch to be below average and he along with his batchmates used to sit and single out companies that could hire them they even talked to the professors regarding the changes that coil be made in the curriculum to make the course more appealing and informative.
I believe once you start focusing on gaining knowledge rather than earning money, you won't find a single branch useless. Yes, a branch can provide lesser job opportunities than other branches but that does not make it useless.
It takes a month, mostly to get your transcripts. Even though the Online Transcripts methods of Anna University have been in place for more than a year, they still refer to it as a Pilot process that just officially started. The process takes between 15 and 30 days, depending on the importance assigned by the authorities. So, always be cautious and apply at least three months in advance so that you can remain calm.
However, courier fees are quite high. India Post accepts international shipments and is less expensive than DHL and FedEx. It is preferable to visit the Controller of Examinations' office rather than apply online. However, this method is best suited for outstation students, particularly those from Tamil Nadu or any Southern states.
One of my friends was in a similar dilemma when he got both NIT Silchar and NIT Agartala. Since both the colleges are located in the North-East, many relatives and adults advised him to look for another institute. He decided to contact a senior and after a healthy discussion with a 4th year senior at NT Agartala, he decided to join the college.
Most of his batchmates are from Bihar and UP. A few are from Bhopal and Kolkata too. Around 30 to 50 students in every branch are from the South. The locals are very friendly and outgoing.
Today, he feels proud to be a part of North-Eastern College despite being from UP. He got the opportunity to experience diverse cultures and traditions. Moreover, the place is the perfect getaway from the scorching summer heat. The infrastructure is infused with natural beauty and makes the ambiance serene.
Overall, Agartala is a very peaceful place and has a huge non-North-Eastern intake so your security isn’t a big concern here.
If you have completed your graduation from Mumbai University without any backlogs or ATKTs, After six months, you will receive the convocation with honor in the ceremony conducted by the college. But if you have any backlogs and passed them in the next attempt, then follow the steps given below for getting the convocation.
Yes, you can definitely enter VMMC for a tour.
It is a government owned institution, so you can visit the campus and have a look at its facilities. You can also catch a glimpse of AIIMS across the road from the Terrace Garden. But some areas like the library may be restricted for outsiders. You’ll require permission to enter classrooms and dissection halls.
You’ll love the green and beautiful campus of VMMC. It is especially mesmerizing in the evenings.
Taking donation money depends on how many seats are available. The donation fee will be high for the streams that have a lot of demand.
However, if there are seats that are vacant, you can try spot counseling and you will not be charged at all for this except for the fee required for admission.
The money that you might be asked to pay can vary depending on the financial situation of the candidates. Getting in touch with the management facility will help you in getting a clear idea. Keep in mind, however, that people who opted for the management quota had to pay huge amounts of money.
Almost 10% of the seats were kept aside for management quota candidates and they are given on the basis of ‘first come first’. Some people got admitted without paying anything at all except for the admission fee and some had to pay huge amounts of money to get in.
Another thing about getting admission through quota is you may lag behind your peers. Even if you do get admission, a lot depends on you as well.
If someone has a passion for engineering, 3rd generation IITs are better than many non-IITs.
This is because the faculty of new IITs is as good as that in the old ones. There’s no compromise at all in the faculty selection process of any IIT. The professors are all genuine and certified experts in their respective fields.
When 2nd and 3rd gen IITs were created, the professors of old IITs were given the choice of continuing beyond retirement. This was done so that no IIT faces a shortage of faculty.
Though the new IITs can’t offer top notch facilities, the learning opportunities in them are good enough. But if packages and placements are talked about, then obviously they won’t be very high for IIT Tirupati in its formative years.
If you’re passionate about engineering, you should consider IIT Tirupati. With talent, skill and passion, you’ll easily land a decent job off campus.
One of my friends applied for revaluation in 7 semesters for more than 20 subjects. His scores also increased. The only thing to keep in mind is to apply for it if you are confident that your answers are not checked properly and deserve better marks.
Consider these points before applying:
Make a wise decision. Do not fall for rumors, apply only if you are confident about it.
